10 thoughts on “Scrumptious Sunday”

I actually have never heard of that book before…I thought you were just tweeting rhymes you made up yourself… >_>;;

That soup looks fab! I wish I had some. I’m having leftover butternut squash soup tonight for dinner, but to tell the truth, I’m getting a little squashed out. Might have to freeze the last couple of servings so I can move on to some more deliciousness.

You know what’s interesting? I went heavy on the avo and light on the sardines because I was nervous… and afterward I wished I had gone light on the avo and heavy on the sardines. 😉 They’re seriously not bad at all. I even tried some kippered herring (my boyfriend loves little smoked fishes) and it was pretty tasty, kind of like smoked trout or lox or something.

Part of what made the toasts so tasty is that I brushed them with the olive oil the sardines were packed in and broiled them for a bit first. Noooommmmm!

We’ve been letting the cats have some of the oil that the sardines (and kippers — boyfriend loves them but we’ve never stocked up on them for some reason) are packed in. Their coats are already super shiny!

I’m starting to really love big Sunday cooking expeditions. 🙂 We seriously ended up with like a gallon of chicken soup, and it’s better than even the chicken soup at Whole Foods. Cooking at home is awesome, especially when you live in a culinary wasteland like Reno.

As I mentioned on twitter, I LOVED that book! Read it so often the seam came undone. Ooops. Oddly enough, though. I’ve never had chicken soup with rice. Whenever my family made chicken soup it was chicken noodle soup. Either those thin little 1-inch egg noodles, or alphabet pasta. hee.

I’ve only made it once myself here about 2-3 years back, but I stuck w/ noodles as I was raised.

I also second the above, btw. Mango lassi kefir is one of my top 3 flavors. I like it w/ just a little frozen banana for thickness, and lots of fresh mango. 😀
